Most Organizations Skip Permissions Reviews Before Deploying AI Tools

A Syskit study finds that 57% of organizations deployed artificial intelligence (AI) agents in Microsoft 365 without conducting a permissions review beforehand. The gap highlights a common security oversight during AI tool adoption, where access controls are not validated before rollout.

Why it matters: Security teams managing Microsoft 365 environments need to audit existing AI agent deployments for over-permissioned access and establish permissions review processes before adopting new AI tools to reduce lateral movement and data exfiltration risks.
